From: Fabien Thomas <fabien.thomas@smile.fr>

The current README points to an old Wiki page. Update this to the
Yocto documentation.

Additionally, add a helper command for git-send-email that includes
the 'kirkstone' subject prefix to ensure patches are correctly
identified by the maintainers and CI.
